Html/css/JavaScript is one of the most highly compatible and prolific stacks to ever exist. I like to say that JavaScript has succeeded where Java was trying to be.
They didn’t succeeded because they were good, but because they were popular.
Browser devtools are very inferior to java/.net devtools, except the network tab from the browser, only thing the language I gave as example lack.
It seems like a decent approach when you’re working with an existing tech stack and not some shiny new technology that has every sorted appropriately.
At first I was like “just return an empty list of printers and let the user think there might be printers? Are you mad?” But than I was like “Well, that’s what I would do in an API as well”

This is exactly what the browsers have been doing for decades and why the developer experience with html/css is infuriating.

Lol

JavaScript, until recently, was literally the only option. It’s a nightmare of a language littered with bear traps and pitfalls.
